This makes me angry. http://www.imdb.com/chart/scifi I doubt Inception has the staying power of most of the first ten films on that list, so I wouldn't stress it. In a couple years it will fade to a more reasonable number.

I was just impressed that they were able to pull off a decent movie out of the entire idea of Inception. It wasn't exactly your standard action plot. Maybe you went into it with too many preconceptions. It obviously wasn't that hard to follow, otherwise it would never have been a blockbuster. Personally I prefer to go into every movie with no expectations. It makes it a better experience most of the time.

Forgot to log into your Hurlshot alt eh? wouldn't that be an alt of an alt of an alt of a guy with a harp? I have no idea what this means, but it still made me smile :D

Sega is dead to us Obsidianites. Dead to us! Seriously though, did that Gas Powered Games project turn into Dungeon Siege 3? Interesting. More seriously, what an odd resurrection by a bot. I guess it must be programmed to find Sega stuff and then put in a blanket statement about the Dreamcast. Weird.

You know, old school Fallout fans really don't have anything left to complain about it. Sure, the IP got kicked around a bit, made into some lame console games, and basically sat with a bankrupt company for awhile. But then it got picked up by one of the few successful RPG publisher/developers in the business, became hugely popular, and then they even went out and hired another developer to make the next game that was filled with people from the original two. Then they turn around and make the best game in a long while, and it seems to have found both critical and financial success. Jagged Alliance 2 is where the real grumpy old school gamers are at. We've got a bankrupt company and over ten years of promises of JA3 that have all ended in misery. Our IP keeps getting picked up by Eastern European companies that have never released a triple A title and probably never will. Our horizon is truly bleak.

Boo, you shut your mouth about JA2. It is perfect in every way! Seriously though, JA2 makes fallout's tb combat look like a three legged horse in the kentucky derby

Really? For me, a game has to be actually 'hard' to be harcore. And PS:T was not hard, it was actually quite easy, if long. Why would it need to be hard? Tetris and Pacman are hard, does that make them hardcore games? I'd say the term hardcore more refers to appealing to a niche audience, or requiring something outlandish like a pint of blood to play.

So Humanoid is that guy! Seriously, it's a video game, if you are going to get yelled at by some kid because you aren't maximizing your potential or whatever, I don't see why anyone would want to play.

Happy Birthday Wals.

Awesomeness. Your handwriting is perfect by the way.

Can you blame the Boomers for blowing up folks who get close to their base? There are a lot of nutjobs roaming around. They did post signs up.

That article makes some great points. Leave it to Obsidian to not handle this stuff like a 12-year old boy.

This hardly seems like an issue with Steam. Most retailers in the US ditched the PC second-hand market long before Steam was even on the scene.

JA2 v1.13 had the best inventory system of all time, yo.

Soda can dehydrate you, or rather the sugar and caffeine do. Given that Fallout sodas are nuclear versions of Jolt Cola, it makes perfect sense.

I might have been thinking about TARP. Looking around, it says that the health care program would add 60 billion a year, but that is on top of the 2 trillion we already spend. Yikes. It's hard to even wrap my mind around these numbers.

Universal Health Care would be completely government run and available to everyone, I would presume. Obama's health care is just covering the people who can't afford private health care, and making companies responsible for providing health care to all employees. It's a bit more complicated than all that, but that is putting it simply.

Yeah, but how many babies have been eaten by dingoes in the last year, Krezack. The truth is ugly!

Yes, but you seem to be working very hard at pinning all the blame on the US for the woes of Iraq. The US didn't force Saddam to invade Kuwait. The biggest culprit here is Saddam Hussein. I can easily meet you in the middle here and say the US has handled the current occupation terribly. I have no problem saying that the second war was flawed from the start. But Hussein was the ruthless dictator here, and he did everything he could to make the original gulf war happen, the economic sanctions happen, and the eventual regime toppling Iraq war happen.

Why make a distinction? What would be the point? The US attacked Iraq in 1991, then Iraq were put on sanctions for a decade before being ruthlessly bombed AGAIN in 2003. What would be the point of measuring the "well being" of the Iraqi people in that disastrous decade between the two wars? I see it as one continuous period as Iraq never has had a chance to rebuild since 1991, no matter how much the Americans are applauding themselves for bringing "democracy" to the region. What are you talking about? Operation Desert Storm in '91 was in Kuwait, after Iraq invaded them. The goal was the liberation of Kuwait. There was no serious attempt at invading Iraq, other than the pursuit of the retreating army. This is a retreating army that lit 700 oil wells on fire, if you recall, causing a huge pollution issue and costing Kuwait 1.5 billion dollars. You are seriously weakening your argument by including the '91 war. Kuwait pleaded for assistances against Iraq, and a huge coalition responded.

She's Out of My League - Somewhat funny at the start, but my interest wavered at the end. Also, if you are going to release a movie like this with an R rating, I think you should have some obligatory nudity.

My bad, Gftd called it a UHC and I kept saying it. I guess we can just call it Obama's Health Care plan. Taxes are lower than they have been in 30 years, so yeah, I don't get how we can not raise them.

I'm 99% sure he was kidding around. We all know that the world will end in December of 2012 anyway.

PS:T would probably show up as some FPS game in today's market. But I don't see WotC endorsing anything for it, to be honest.

Health care is extremely broken in this country. I have no idea if the Universal Health Care program will be effective, but it would be nice to see both parties working on it instead of using it as a political platform. I like this deficit reduction plan, by the way. If both sides are unhappy, somebody is doing something right. Obviously there is a lot going on there. I think people are making a bigger deal about the Social Security issue than is necessary, in reality if you are relying fully on Social Security as a retirement plan, you are already in trouble to begin with. 69 is when the full benefits kick in, which means if you want to retire at 60, you need a decent retirement plan to cover the gap.
